Detail-laden and stylish at every angle, Benchmade’s 496 Vector Knife is an everyday carry knife that can hang with the best of them.

The 496 Vector Knife features Benchmade’s first compound grind blade crafted from CPM-20CV (59-61 HRC) stainless steel. The drop-point blade features a flat ground, wedger tip that enables more effective cutting. Full stainless steel liners and a gray aluminum bolster enhance the knife’s strength. The smooth milled, contoured G10 handle gives you a good grip on the knife. The AXIS® Assist flipper with integrated safety makes it easy to manually open and close the knife, while the black oxide, deep-carry clip enables easier carrying and deployment.
